Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heating devices, and in particular to an oil-water heating system with electromagnetic induction circulation heating and cooling. Background Art

[0002] Oil is an important energy source indispensable for the development of human society. However, the water content of the oil extracted from oil fields is usually relatively high. Moreover, since most of China's oil fields are located in the north and the winter temperature is low, the water-oil mixture extracted from oil wells is extremely easy to solidify and cause pipeline blockage. Therefore, the extracted water-oil mixture is heated in a heating furnace and then flows into the pipeline to prevent pipeline blockage caused by the low temperature solidification of the water-oil mixture. And heating can promote the demulsification of the oil-water mixture, separate water from the oil-water mixture, thereby improving the quality and purity of the oil-water mixture, reducing the viscosity of the oil product, enhancing its fluidity, and facilitating transportation in the pipeline. This is of great significance for the exploitation and transportation processes of oil fields.

[0003] Traditional heating furnaces (such as tubular furnaces, water jacket furnaces, etc.) are used in oil fields. Usually, natural gas heating is used. The oil-water mixture is heated by burning natural gas and then injected into the oil well and transported through pipelines. However, traditional heating furnaces have disadvantages. On the one hand, due to the use of natural gas combustion heating, the heating location is limited and the heating process requirements are strict. At the same time, the gases such as carbon dioxide generated by combustion do not meet the current carbon peak requirements. On the other hand, after heating is completed, the excess oil-water mixture has too high a temperature and lacks a rapid cooling system. Usually, it takes a lot of time to wait for the oil-water mixture to cool. Therefore, the present invention designs a high-power high-frequency electromagnetic heating and rapid cooling device. The electromagnetic heating method is not restricted by gas pipelines. At the same time, off-peak power consumption and the comprehensive application of new energy + green electricity are used, which are both energy-saving and carbon-reducing. And the rapid cooling device also reduces the waste of resources of standby storage tanks. Summary of the Invention

The setting of the cooling device greatly shortens the cooling time compared with natural cooling in the heating furnace, thereby improving the efficiency of treating and upgrading the oil-water mixture.

[0017] The electromagnetic heating elements of the present invention are arranged in a circle around the circumferential direction of the heating furnace, and an electromagnetic heating element is arranged every 30 degrees on the vertical plane of its circumference, which can not only avoid magnetic interference caused by too close coil distance, but also place as many heating elements as possible under the condition of conforming to the structure of the heating furnace, thereby improving the heating efficiency.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "provided with", "sheathed / connected", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] The present invention provides an oil-containing water heating system with electromagnetic induction cycle heating and cooling, including: A heating device, with inlet and outlet holes 4 for the medium to be heated to flow in and out at both ends, and the inlet and outlet holes 4 at both ends of the heating device are connected through a circulation pipeline 5.

[0024] A cooling device 9, connected to the circulation pipeline 5 at both ends. The heated medium flows into the cooling device 9 from one end for cooling and flows out to the circulation pipeline 5 from the other end.

[0025] Considering the relatively low temperature in winter in the oilfield, the circulation cooling device is buried underground. The medium after heating flows into the cooling device 9 through a pipeline for cooling, and the pipeline is placed underground to prevent the cooled medium from solidifying and blocking the pipeline due to too low temperature.

[0026] As Figure 1 、 4 shown, the present invention provides an implementation manner of the above oil-containing water heating system with electromagnetic induction cycle heating and cooling. In the present invention, the heating device includes: The heating furnace 3 is provided with a circle of electromagnetic heating elements 2 along the circumferential direction of its inner surface. The electromagnetic heating elements 2 are arranged at intervals of 30 degrees on the vertical plane of the circumference where they are located. Around the device in the middle vertical plane for one full circle, there is an aperture 1 with a diameter of 0.2 meters at intervals of 30 degrees. When heating the oil-water mixture produced in the oil field, the electromagnetic heating elements 2 are fixed to the heating furnace 3 with bolts for heating. Considering that electromagnetic waves attenuate with the increase of distance and there is electromagnetic interference when the coils 21 are too close, and also considering the external shape structure of the heating device and the dimensional structure of the heating furnace 3, placing an electromagnetic heating element 2 at intervals of 30 degrees on the circumference in the vertical plane can not only avoid the magnetic interference caused by the coils 21 being too close, but also place as many heating elements as possible under the condition of conforming to the structure of the heating furnace 3, thus improving the heating efficiency.

[0027] As Figure 1 , 4 shown, there is an inlet / outlet hole 4 with a diameter of 5 cm at each of the left and right ends of the heating device. The inlet / outlet holes 4 are used for the inflow and outflow of the medium to be heated in the device. The oil-water mixture to be heated is added into the heating device through these two inlet / outlet holes 4.

[0028] After adding the oil-water mixture, the left and right basic holes are connected to the circulation pipeline 5, and the valves 6 at both ends of the circulation pipeline 5 are closed.

There is an aperture 1 with a diameter of 0.2 meters at intervals of 30 degrees on the surface of the heating furnace 3 (in the central vertical plane). The aperture 1 is used to place the electromagnetic heating element 2.

After the fixing is completed, the power-on switch can be pressed, and the coils 21 in the electromagnetic heating elements are energized for induction heating. The wall temperature of the electromagnetic heating element 2 rises rapidly, and the heat is transferred to the medium in the heating furnace 3 through heat conduction. The temperature of the medium is judged whether it reaches the required temperature by observing the display temperature of the first thermometer 26 set on the heating device. When the predetermined required temperature is satisfied, the switch is pressed to cut off the power supply to the coils 21 and stop heating.

And the temperature of the medium in the pipeline is measured according to the temperature sensor 7, and then it flows into the cooling bodies 22 of the circulation cooling device 9 through the small pipes 10. Every five cooling bodies 22 are assembled into a set of cooling elements, with three sets longitudinally and five sets horizontally, and a total of 75 cooling bodies 22 are distributed.
